Mr. Briney (Japanese: ハギ老人 Old Man Hagi) is a sailor that appears in many forms of the media. He has a Wingull named Peeko.

In the games

Mr. Briney is first seen near the Rusturf Tunnel, asking the player to recover his Wingull, Peeko, from a Team Magma GruntR/Team Aqua GruntSE. Once Peeko is rescued and returned to Mr. Briney, he will offer to give the player rides in his boat to Dewford Town and Slateport City until he/she gains the Badge from his/her father. During the post-game, it is revealed that he has become the captain of the S.S. Tidal. His house is located on Route 104.

Character

Even though Mr. Briney retired from being a sailor, he was shown to still have the skills as one as he told May his stories about it. He was very caring towards Peeko as she was usually there with him.

History

Mr. Briney appeared in two episodes of the Pokémon anime.

He first appeared in On a Wingull and a Prayer! fishing off the pier. May spotted him doing so and asked him for a way to get to Dewford Town since Ash and his friends were lost. Peeko flies down to him and Mr. Briney revealed to her that the only person Peeko likes is him. This changed when May brought out Pokémon food. Mr. Briney explained to May about his time as a sailor, only for May to not understand it. Later, Mr. Briney arrived at his house and got confronted by a member of Team Aqua, the same one responsible for stealing from the Devon Corporation the episode before. The grunt captured Peeko in a cage and wanted the boat that Mr. Briney owned. With no other choice, the two of them were about to go on board but the group's interference prevented them from doing so. Despite the group's arrival, the grunt still got on board with Peeko. Luckily, Mr. Briney still had another boat and used it to get his Wingull back. Mr. Brunet was able to retrieve Peeko and as a way of thanking the group, Mr. Briney gave them a ride to Dewford Town on his boat.

In Sharpedo Attack!, Mr. Briney was still taking the group to Dewford Town. On the way, they take a break on an unnamed island that isn't on any map. While there, a group of Sharpedo arrived. Mr. Briney rescued May and Max from them with the help of Peeko. The group were able to bypass them and got on the island. The leader Sharpedo arrived when Ash got its attention and Mr. Briney trapped it in a wooden fence. Sharpedo became sick and Brock helped Sharpedo recover. At the end of the episode, Mr. Briney and the group left the island and arrived in Dewford Town. He dropped them off there and waved his farewells to them.

In Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!, Cilan mentions that he is heading to Johto to compete in the Old Rod Fishing Rally that is being hosted by Mr. Briney.

Mr. Briney in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire

Mr. Briney appears in We've Found Team Magma's Secret!! of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.

In that chapter, he dressed up his Wingull, Peeko, before Red came by. During Red's arrival, he asked Mr. Briney about the stuffed bird and revealed it to him as Peeko. He told them that he takes Peeko everywhere he goes, including the rooms in his house. Later, Mr. Brunei revealed to the group that Peeko had a crush on someone, which was revealed to be Clefairy. Team Magma come by and demand Mr. Brunet for Peeko, in which Peeko refused to go with them, and attached herself to Clefairy. Peeko's attachment to Clefairy made Mr. Briney sad. When Peeko went racing around with Clefairy, Mr. Briney went after her, and tried to protect her from Team Magma. When a can fell off of a balloon Clefairy rode on, Mr. Briney read a letter attached to the can and revealed that she liked Mr. Briney and wanted to stay with him, much to Mr. Briney's amusement.
